Desmin, the myogenic intermediate filament protein, is a phosphoprotein containing phosphoserine, in vivo. The role of phosphorylation on assembly-disassembly and organization of the desmin filament… (More)

Protein kinase C phosphorylated the major mammalian neurofilament protein (NF-L) with approximately 3 mol phosphate per mol protein. The phosphorylated NF-L no longer formed the filaments. Sequential… (More)

Effects of phosphorylation of the neurofilament L protein (NF-L) on the reassembly system were studied by both sedimentation experiments and low-angle rotary shadowing. Bovine spinal cord NF-L was… (More)

The role of phosphorylation on the assembly-disassembly of vimentin and desmin. The cytoskeletons of most mammalian cells are composed of three major fiber systems that can be distinguished electron… (More)

Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) was collected into capillary tubes from healthy gingiva and sites of advanced periodontitis. Following digestion with Pronase E, the glycosaminoglycans were isolated… (More)

We determined the hyaluronic acid disaccharides, delta Di-HA, in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and whole saliva of patients with periodontal disease, and in the peri-implant sulcus fluid (PISF)… (More)

OBJECTIVES
Tests have been carried out to assess the level of unsaturated disaccharide isomers obtained from chondroitin sulphate in whole saliva, which contains chondroitin sulphate derived from… (More)
